A very strong T6 for Graeme with lots of positives to take away from Houston. G–Mac got off to a –3 opening round including 4 birdies which had him well-placed and a marker for the days ahead. After a bogey first hole on Saturday, Graeme showed his steel to turn it around with 2 birdies on the front nine. His day went to another level with consecutive eagles on 12 & 13 which had him flying. Sunday was time to focus for both himself and his team. Graeme kept his cool with a bogey free round of –3 to finish T6 and helping Smash GC to T2 at the end of the a success week.

Course Details
At first glance, Houston looks like a driver’s paradise. Spread over 7,508 yards, you’d think it would play right into the hands of Brooks, Bryson and the rest of the LIV Golf bomb squad.
But then you look a bit closer, see the deception bunkers, the sharply ridged greens and the disappearing pins, and realize this is going to be much more tricky than it looks.
For the fans, however, it’s going to be awesome. A beautiful course framed by pines and Wetland plants, with a classic hometown crowd that have been waiting to see golf of this quality for years. Houston loves its sport, and we can expect them to roar the house down here.
Yardage: 7,353
Course Par: 72
